I find this post interesting because I have been having some serious issues with my Outlook Contacts list ever since I got my iPhone!
My problems are similar but different... When I lookup addresses I find that some names show with the first name first and others with the family name first! (both types are set to Files as: Family Name, First Name. In the properies of both types I have a security tab!
I also have other addresses where I do not have a properties tab!
I also have a problem with some contacts when I hit the "TO" button and try to select names... if I click on the "Properties" button I often get an error message "The Properties dialog box could not be displayed. An invalid ENTRYID was passed in"! There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason as to which contacts display the error. The majority of the contacts yield the error! The few that do work display the Contact Detail box and of those several have the Security tab when I bring up the Properties but most do not!
I also note that some of the contacts, where I assigned a picture to, on the iphone, show that I have a Contact Photo when I view the Contact in Outlook... but other do not!
Finally when I have been sending out emails Outlook has chosen to send some (again no pattern!) emails out using the wrong FROM address! It shows that it I have selected the correct address... but after I send the email I can see that the FROM was actually another address that I use!!
I did a repair installation on my Office setup but nothing seems to have changed...
Any thoughts????
